What is the use of sleeve yoke?

Sleeve Yoke is an important component of any drive shaft assembly. It is also essential for allowing u-joints to rotate properly with the drive shaft.

A yoke is a shaped pattern piece that forms part of a garment, usually fitting around the neck and shoulders or around the hips to provide support for looser parts of the garment, such as a gathered skirt or the body of a shirt.

A sleeve yoke is a mechanical component used to connect two shafts that are not in line with each other. It consists of a cylindrical piece of metal with two yokes on opposite ends, each yoke being connected to a shaft. The sleeve yoke is designed to accommodate a certain amount of misalignment between the two shafts, allowing them to rotate and flex independently while still transmitting torque.

The yokes on a sleeve yoke are typically made of metal and are designed to fit onto the ends of the shafts. They are usually connected to the shafts using bolts or other fasteners. The sleeve portion of the yoke is designed to slide over the two yokes and to maintain the relative positions of the yokes as they rotate.

Sleeve yokes are commonly used in automotive drive shafts, industrial machinery, and other applications where torque needs to be transmitted between non-aligned shafts. They are designed to handle high torque loads and to operate smoothly even at high speeds.

It is important to choose the correct size and type of sleeve yoke for a given application to ensure that it can withstand the required torque and misalignment. Regular inspection and maintenance of sleeve yokes is also important to ensure their continued performance and reliability.
